Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, what should I do after being diagnosed with orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Patients with orchitis must rest in bed, support the scrotum, and apply local heat. If the scrotal skin is swollen and protruding, heat application can help reduce inflammation. For severe pain that does not respond well to pain medication, the affected side spermatic cord can be anesthetized. For systemic medication, broad-spectrum or gram-negative bacteria-sensitive antibiotics should be selected. Symptomatic treatment should be carried out based on determining the underlying cause. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
